• To better define the clinical and biological evolution of infants after vertical human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection, we analyzed 94 consecutive infected patients followed up after their first clinical symptoms. The expression of clinical symptoms and biological abnormalities followed a bimodal distribution, some patients having an early and severe disease and the others having a slowly progressive one. One third of our patients suffered from early onset of opportunistic infection (OI). These patients had a significantly higher incidence of severe encephalopathy compared with patients without OI. The rate of survival at 3 years was 48% ± 24%. In contrast, the patients without early OI or severe encephalopathy had a probability of survival at 3 years of 97%±3%. This probability was not modified by the occurrence of bacterial infection or lymphoid interstitial pneumonitis. Lymphoid interstitial pneumonitis occurred at a mean age of 29 months, significantly later than OI or severe encephalopathy. Laboratory results at initial examination were correlated with clinical symptoms. Thus, when the number of CD4 lymphocytes was less than 500/mm3, children suffered more frequently from life-threatening symptoms (OI and severe encephalopathy): 15 of 22 vs 14 of 69. The same was true when the lymphocytes did not proliferate after antigenic stimulation, when anti-p18 and/or anti-p25 antibodies were absent in the serum, and when p24 antigen was detected in serum. Finally, severe encephalopathy was associated with low anti–human immunodeficiency virus cerebrospinal fluid antibody titer, whereas 88% of patients with moderate or no encephalopathy had signs of intrathecal anti–human immunodeficiency virus antibody synthesis. In conclusion, a subgroup of patients expressed very early signs of severe immunodeficiency and encephalopathy, whereas the majority of patients had a longer survival and less severe clinical symptoms during their first years of life than previously thought.

First woman poet laureate diesAugust 10th, 1958
On this day in 1958, Aline Triplette Michaelis, the first woman to be named poet laureate of Texas, died in Beaumont. Triplette was born in St. Louis in 1885. She was educated in St. Louis and Kansas City, and her early poems were published by the Kansas City Star. After marriage to F. G. Michaelis, she lived in Austin for several years before moving to Beaumont in 1919, where she worked as a staff member of the Beaumont Enterprise. Writing under her own name and the pen name Susan Arnold Taylor, she published more than ten thousand poems. Her poem "Courage" was distributed to servicemen with the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. Her column "The Rhyming Optimist" was carried by King Features for some sixteen years and reached well over three million daily readers. Many of her poems dealt with nature; her work was characterized by its optimism. She published a volume of her verse, Courage and Other Poems, in 1931. She served as poet laureate of Texas from 1934 to 1936.« Previous Next »

"There is nothing that makes me more optimistic about the future of the country," Wire creator David Simon reportedly said. Which is almost right.Via Balloon Juice, the Post's correction: A Names & Faces item in the Nov. 27 Style section, about a Johns Hopkins University course based on the HBO drama series "The Wire," misquoted the show's creator, David Simon, who visited the class this semester. According to Simon and the Baltimore Sun, he responded to a student's question about hopeful signs for her generation by saying, "There is nothing that makes me optimistic about the future of the country."

Spike caught up to me as I was taking a break on the journey.
�What do you think of the prez doing all those fund raisers?�� he asked.
�I�ve been wondering about that,� I replied. �He doesn�t seem to spend any time doing any thinking or reading � he�s always running around doing foolish interviews.�
�That�s what I�m wondering about too. Like, he�s off on Martha�s Vineyard and all day he golfs and parties at night. How�s he get anything clear in his mind?�
�I sometime wonder,� I replied. �Look at the mess he�s fallen into in Iraq.�
�What do you mean with Maliki and what�s his name claiming to be prime minister.�
�No, with the Islamic State. ISIS. He�s really a day late and a dollar short on that one. Do your remember back in January when he was asked about them. http://hotair.com/archives/2014/01/21/video-al-qaeda-a-jayvee-team/%20">He said: �If a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms, that doesn�t make them Kobe Bryant.��In January they�re a bunch of junior leaguers, in June they capture Mosul, and in August we�re back in a war with them.�
Spike shook his head: �That�s sort of scary he�s so out of touch.�

After Hijikata grows suspicious of Soji's feelings about Sei, he reassigns Sei to the third troop under Saito's command. Soji, puzzled by his own recent irrational behavior toward Sei, attempts to distance himself from her. Sei, in turn, interprets this as Soji's realization of her feelings for him and decides that she can no longer serve as a bushi alongside him. She goes to visit Suigetsuni, a nun who knew Sei in her former life as a girl, to discuss renouncing the world and entering the convent!

Skip to comments.How Obama Became the Superhero of Excuses (Ron Fournier spanks Ezra Klein)
Posted on 05/21/2014 11:13:06 AM PDT by kristinn
You helped elect an untested presidential candidate, a man almost as liberal as you. He promised to heal the oceans, make health care an unalienable right and transform Washington's toxic culture. You mocked Republicans, independents and squishy Democrats who had the audacity to criticize your guy, much less doubt the inevitability of his victory. President Obama won, twice, and then didn't live up to anybody's expectations, including his own.
What do you do? Well, if you're Ezra Klein and a coterie of inflexibly progressive pundits, you re-purpose an attack used against President George W. Bush's bombastic approach to geopolitics. You call anybody who questions Obama's leadership style a Green Lanternist. In a post for Vox stretching beyond 2,500-words, Klein makes his case against Obama critics.
"Presidents consistently overpromise and underdeliver," he begins, a fair start. Surely, the editor-in-chief of Vox is going to make the obvious point that presidents and presidential candidates should know enough about the political process (including the limits on the executive branch) to avoid such a breach of trust.
.....In Washington, we call it pandering. In the rest of the country, it's called a lie. Klein yawns.
The launch of the Affordable Care Act and the worsening of conditions at the Department of Veterans Affairs are emblematic of Obama's inattention to the hard work of governing. He is slow to fire poor-serving Cabinet members and quick to dismiss controversies as "phony scandals." To the Obama administration, transparency is a mere talking point. The great irony of his progressive presidency: Democrats privately admit that Obama has done as much to undermine the public's faith in government as his GOP predecessor. The Green Lantern Theory is an excuse for failure.
(Excerpt) Read more at nationaljournal.com ...
I'm too busy here at work to do this, but someone needs to craft an "Excuse Man" super hero with a giant "E" on his puny bird like chest.
It isn't a case of overestimating the power of the President when one hears "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period" stated repeatedly by a fellow who knows it's a lie. It's a case of a liar.
In the 1990's Republicans AGREED that the budget should be balanced, welfare ended, marriage involved one man and one woman, citizens could not be detained without due process, etc. These values were scarcely contested.
Twenty years later, the GOP has given less ground than the Dem's, but BOTH parties have drifted left.
It shows the power of the MSM.
Every problem in the last 6 yrs is "Bush's fault".
Every problem from 2001-2008 was "Bush's fault".
No problem was attributed to BJ or Baraq.
Yeah, but only by about a half inch.
Ezra Klein? I'll PASS. Thanks.
Well, of course nothing is ever the fault of the left. They have good intentions, so they can't be measured by the results of their policies. /sarc
That would be racist, etc.
At some point the 800lbs gorilla in the room becomes impossible to explain or defend. It is obvious the house is trashed, and there is nothing left to do but shoot the gorilla and begin to clean up the mess.
That would make a great comic.
Every panel has someone coming to Obama with a problem and his punchline is always "I will not rest until your problem is solved" and then he goes to luch or dinner or to sleep or whatever (depending on the time of day)
I'm pretty sure that Ezra would like that.
Does Obama, with all the golf he plays,break 100?
Baraq's golf scores are as well buried as his SATs and LSATs.
Even Edward Snowden can't get them leaked....
I don't need to. I Ezra Klein'ed before I left the house.
And his Indonesian passport, and his real-deal BC.
Good point. I often wonder about the mental gymnastics these 'Progressives' have to do to justify that it's ALL President Bush's fault, meaning he's all powerful. And President Obama is held harmless, because it's ALL Congress' fault.
I hope the water from the well they spat in tastes very bitter.
Good catch -- author catches a lie-beral JournoListing weasel, Klein, lying like a rug.
Keeping in mind that Klein was the architect of the JournoList and proximately responsible for all its lies and conspiracies great and small.
There was a cartoon circulating a few years ago about "Action Item Man", where everything becomes an Action Item, but he never really does anything.
Ever catch Klein on TV? Charlie Rose flattered him with a Charlie Rose Power Junkie of the Week (TM) interview recently. Klein's egotism and moral skank just ooze from him. Even his face outs him as one of those eyes-glow-in-the-dark power-mad Bram Stoker characters.
If I ever had the misfortune to glimpse that smirking, self-infatuated little krap weasel on the telly I wouldn't be able to turn the channel fast enough. My stomach isn't as strong as yours.
Don't spank Ezra Klein too hard. He reportedly enjoys that kind of stuff, you know. Besides, if you took him to the woodshed for a spanking, the rats would leave ASAP.
Around DC he is known as "Little Shit", which applies to his personality and his writings.
Mr. KAPO, once the pride of the Wash. Post. Now on his own and just as Leftist as before.
I'm pretty sure Fournier never wrote about his misgivings electing Obama until lately when everything is turning to sh!t. I don't recall him standing up for the GOP or conservatives when they voiced their fears about electing an untested unknown to the highest office in the land. In fact, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and deduce that Ron voted for The One in 2008 and possibly in 2012. I guess he thinks that jumping from the sinking ship now absolves him from his share of the blame. Think again, Ron.
Did you catch obama when he said "We all" need to do something. It's always someone else's fault. Sometimes it's even the American citizens' fault.
I would argue that neither party functions as a political party today...they both serve as a funnel for special interest groups (from oil and banking, to environmental foundations and gay marriage). You show up...show some money...get a Senator tied into your cause, then build onto it.

Page 2 of 5
Creative juices flowed in the family. Lyle Garrett, the oldest brother, sang on Broadway and starred in European productions of The Phantom of the Opera. Mimi starred in musicals at the Springer Theatre in Columbus and modeled in Paris. Bill, the youngest, played the guitar and sang, but his ambition outstripped his natural talent.
Bill, now 40, was always different from the other kids in the family. He was the problem child, clearly affected by the death of his father. "Bill was only 2 when that happened," Mimi told me. "He spent many of his waking hours as a kid trying to find his daddy."
When he was 19, Bill dug one of his father's old suits out of mothballs. He parted his hair like his dad, and had his mother take a picture of him wearing the suit and holding his father's Bible. "He wanted to be like him," says Mimi. "And everyone who knew our father says Bill is just like his daddy."
Another thing about Bill: Once he'd become obsessed with something, there was no stopping him – until the next thing came along. There was the bodybuilding phase in high school. The rock 'n' roll phase. The political phase in college when he interned for U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn and ran (unsuccessfully) for the Waleska City Council. And then there was the make-a-lot-of-money phase after he graduated from Georgia State.
But those were nothing until Bill latched onto his greatest and longest-lasting obsession of all: the become-a-country-music-star phase.
THE NEXT THING you need to know about my brother is that he is always late. To give you an idea of how bad he is, a few weeks ago we were meeting at 8 o'clock to go to a show, and he called at 7:45 to "warn me" that he was actually going to be on time.
So I'm not surprised on the night I'm supposed to interview him that I'm standing alone inside the vast expanse of Wild Bill's – the huge country-music club he built in Duluth – and he's just texted me that he's running late. The first time I was in the club was during the final phases of construction in 2003. Its sheer enormity overwhelmed me then, and it still does. I mean, he built a club that holds more people than the Fox Theatre, and built it explicitly as a venue for him to perform.
When he arrives (90 minutes after our original meeting time, which, for him, is good) we greet each other with a hug. He has such a disarming smile, and it's impossible to stay angry at him. He is tall and lanky, with a Keith Urbanish haircut complete with blond highlights, and eyes that are focused and intense. His clothes, even his jeans, are custom-tailored to ensure a perfect fit.
We walk back to the small rehearsal room he's had built in the back of the club to do something we've never done before: talk as journalist interviewing singer. It allows me to ask questions I've never asked before, and I quickly realize I don't know my brother as well as I thought I did. Our lives have had more parallels than I'd realized. Like me, his entire identity in high school was music. We each had garage bands; we each worked as roadies for local bands. After college, we each veered away from music – me into journalism and he into a data-collection business he founded with one of his college friends.
In the meantime, the three youngest kids all scattered away from home – Bill to Gwinnett County, Mimi to Phoenix, me to Macon and then Rhode Island. When Mimi returned in 1997 after a long absence, Bill hatched another one of his grand schemes: a band called the Gentrys. "She and I had grown apart because she was living in Arizona, and I thought a good way to get to know each other again was through music, for us to sing together," he says.
Their first paying gig was at the Country Star in Buckhead, now the ESPN Zone. The room was filled with all of Bill's frat brothers and every friend he could convince to come out. As first gigs go, it was pretty dreadful. Their "band" was a bass player.
"I still have nightmares about that night," Mimi recalls. "We played three sets of 10 songs apiece, and every song had a bass solo."
For Bill, the duo with our sister may have begun with a noble motive, but quickly evolved into a different monster. Mimi remembers Bill making her promise that she'd stick with him until they reached Nashville.
Bill had made a fortune with his data company, and had money to spend to promote the Gentrys, and hired the best musicians he could find for the backup band. He paid, conservatively, $20,000 in 1998 to produce a self-released CD of all-original songs, never mind that neither one of my siblings were songwriters. "He said he'd done market research on hit albums and told me what songs he wanted," Mimi says with a laugh. "There had to be three slow songs, one in a minor key, three midtempo songs and one song with a double entendre." They dashed off seven new songs and hit the studio three weeks later.

Here are the league's players of the week:
Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas: Wilson completed 32 of 43 passes for 365 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in Arkansas' 44-17 win against Mississippi State. His 32 completions set a new Arkansas single-game record previously held by Joe Ferguson (31, vs. Texas A&M, 1971). The number is also the highest in a conference game this season. His 365 yards is the second-highest of his career and the most against an SEC opponent. It was also his fourth 300-plus passing yardage game of the season, most in the SEC. Wilson completed five passes of 20 or more yards and 10 of 15 or more.
Co-DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Ron Brooks, CB, LSU: Brooks had four tackles, one sack (minus-11 yards), a forced and recovered fumble and returned an interception 46 yards for a touchdown in LSU's 52-3 win at Ole Miss. His interception came on the first Rebel drive of the game and his sack came in the third drive of the contest.
Danny Trevathan, LB, Kentucky: Trevathan recorded 17 total tackles, had three tackles for loss (minus-9 yards), including a sack (minus-6) and caused two fumbles in Kentucky's 19-10 loss at Georgia. The 17 stops ties his career high, which he has recorded three times in Kentucky's last four games.
Blair Walsh, K, Georgia: Walsh tied his career high, going 4-for-4 on field goals in Georgia's 19-10 win against Kentucky. He connected on three 39-yard field goal attempts and also had a 25-yarder in the contest. His 13 points (also had an extra point) now give him 394 in his career, which puts him second in SEC and UGA history behind former Bulldog Billy Bennett (409 points). Walsh's four field goals were Georgia's only points of the contest until early in the fourth quarter.
Will Blackwell, OG, LSU: Blackwell led the LSU offensive line with nine knockdown blocks in the Tigers' 52-3 win at Ole Miss. He helped pave the way for LSU to achieve a season-best 353 rushing yards. LSU had five players with 50 or more rushing yards. The Tigers' offensive line did not allow a sack against the Rebels as LSU amassed 458 total yards in scoring a season-best 52 points.
Co- DEFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK
Malik Jackson, DT, Tennessee: Playing in his final game in Neyland Stadium, Jackson recorded six total tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, including a half-sack, a forced fumble and two quarterback pressures in Tennessee's 27-21 overtime win against Vanderbilt. The Vols held Vanderbilt to 90 rushing yards on 36 carries and recorded two sacks.
Abry Jones, DE, Georgia: Jones tallied four tackles, including 1.5 for losses, in Georgia's 19-10 win against Kentucky. Georgia limited Kentucky to just 23 rushing yards on 21 attempts (1.1 yards per carry). The Wildcats had just one rushing gain of more than 10 yards against the Bulldogs.
Curt Maggitt, LB, Tennessee: Maggitt recorded seven tackles, with 2.5 for losses, in Tennessee's 27-21 overtime win against Vanderbilt. He tallied a key tackle for loss on a third-and-5 early in the second quarter when he stopped Vandy's Zac Stacy for a 1-yard loss, which led to a missed field goal.
Here are some other players with top performances from the weekend.

This invention relates to a magnetic disc clutch mechanism for a magnetic disc apparatus of cartridge type.
A magnetic disc cartridge is composed of, as shown in FIG. 1; a magnetic disc 2 which is rotatively mounted in a plastic cartridge case 1; a disc hub 3 for also serving as an armature which is projected from an opening 1a of a bottom surface of the cartridge case 1 so as to be adapted to fix the rotation center of the magnetic disc 2; a latching lever 5, the back end of which is energized toward the inner bottom surface of the case 1 by virtue of a leaf spring 4, and the top end of which is energized against a flange portion 3a formed around the periphery of the disc hub 3 so as to fix the disc hub 3 to the inner bottom surface of the cartridge case 1.
In a conventional magnetic disc apparatus of cartridge type to drive this magnetic disc cartridge, the magnetic disc 2 is sustained within the case 1 in a floating manner described as follows. After fixing a spindle assembly to an inner bottom surface of a housing which defines a cartridge chamber and after inserting the cartridge in the chamber, if it is executed to close a door of the chamber, an operation of a link system and the like which is cooperative with the door makes the cartridge descend and thereby the bottom surface of the disc hub 3 is connected to a magnetic chuck of the spindle assembly. In addition, a release pin which is mounted on the inner bottom surface of the housing, projects into the cartridge and abuts to a guide pin 5a which is fixed to the latching lever 5 and further pushes the latching lever 5 upwardly. Thus the magnetic disc 2 is sustained within the case 1 in the floating manner.
However, this constitution has a drawback such that it becomes large-sided, because it needs to ascend and/or descend a horizontally supporting device of the cartridge which is inserted into the cartridge chamber itself.
Moreover, the cartridge should be inserted within the cartridge chamber with a little rattle in order to make it easy to insert the cartridge into the chamber. On the contary, if a distance between the cartridge and the spindle assembly is not large enough, the cartridge interferes with the spindle assembly in its inserting operation so that more elevation amount is needed. This results in that the device is much thicker.
This invention is intended to simplify the loading mechanism of the disc cartridge and to constitute a device much thinner by ascending and/or descending the spindle assembly as opposed to the conventional magnetic disc apparatus mentioned above and by connecting the spindle assembly to the cartridge which is inserted within the cartridge chamber.
This invention, which is intended to attain these objects, is characterized in that a spindle assembly is vertically movable and is provided on a bottom surface of a housing in which a magnetic disc cartridge is adapted to be inserted, and that one end of a lever being slidable by virtue of open and/or close operations of a door which is arranged at a housing opening is cooperative with said spindle assembly so that the spindle assembly ascends to the cartridge in accordance with the door closing operation and descends from the cartridge in accordance with the door opening operation.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a magnetic disc cartridge in a disassembled state for illustrating a constitution of the magnetic disc cartridge.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a first embodiment of the present invention.
FIGS. 3 to 5 are cross-sectional views taken along III--III line, IV--IV line and V--V line of FIG. 2 respectively.
FIGS. 6A and 6B are perspective views of a second embodiment respectively.
FIGS. 2 to 5 illustrate a first embodiment respectively. In each of the drawings, on the a center of an inner bottom surface or base of an end-opened housing 10, a cylindrical guide wall 12 is upstandingly provided and in an inner cylindrical portion of the cylindrical guide wall 12, a brushless direct current motor 14 of an outer-rotor type is provided.
A circumferential portion of the motor 14 is sustained by a guide block 16 which is slidably mounted within the inner cylindrical portion of the guide wall 12. At both of opposite sides of the guide block 16, a pair of arms 16a are integrally provided and extend protrusively through notches 12a which are formed on both of opposite sides of the guide wall 12.
On the other hand, on the inner bottom surface or base of the housing 10, a pair of levers 18 which are orthogonal to the arms 16a, are provided. Each of the levers 18 is slidably provided so as to be cooperative with open and/or close movements of a door or lid (not shown) which is secured to the opening of the housing 10 and each of the levers 18 is formed with a tapered shoe 18a at the slide surface where the arm 16a and the slide surface contact each other. Within the arm 16a, a release pin 20 which penetrates therethrough is disposed and on a circumference of a lower portion of the release pin 20, a compression coil-spring 22 is provided so as to normally bias the arm 16a in a downward direction.
Accordingly, in a state wherein the door or lid is opened, the motor 14 moves downward the under portion of the inner bottom surface of the housing 1 and thus the cartridge can be inserted into the housing. Further, if the cartridge is inserted and the door is closed, in accordance with the movement of the door, the lever 18 advances and pushes up the arm 16a along the taper surface of the shoe 18a.
Consequently, the motor 14 ascends together with the arm 16a so as to enable a positioning axis of the motor 14 do connect with the hub 3, and the motor 14 connects closely with the under surface of the hub 3 by virtue of a magnetic chuck 14b which is provided around the axis 14a. In accordance with this movement of the arm 16a, the release pin 20 ascends and pushes up the pin 5a sustaining the latching lever 5 so as to bring the latching lever 5 free from engagement with the hub 3. Thus, the magnetic disc 2 can be integrally rotative with the motor 14.
Moreover, on the upper edge of the inner peripheral portion of the guide wall 12, a taper portion 12b is provided and also, on the upper edge of outer peripheral portion of the guide block 16, a taper portion 16b is provided. Therefore, the elevated position of the motor 14 is stopped by the engagement of the taper portion 12b and the taper portion 16a. By virtue of this taper arrangement, the motor 14 can be fixed so that the center thereof is accurately aligned with the center of the guide wall 12.
In addition, on the intermediate portion of the arm 18, a long hole 18b is provided and on a part of the long hole 18b, as above described, a tapered shoe 18c is provided. On the bottom of the housing 10, there is provided with a positioning pin 26 which is normally located on the down position by virtue of the biasing force of a spring 24. On the upper portion of the positioning pin 26, there is provided a pin 28 which is engaged with the shoe 18c so as to push up the positioning pin 26 along the upper surface of said the shoe 18c.
The positioning pin 26 is correspondingly engaged with a positioning hole 1b which is penetratingly provided on the corner of the cartridge case 1, and can position the cartridge 1 within the housing when door is closed by engaging with the positioning hole 1b.
FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B illustrate a second embodiment. In the drawings, on both of the opposite sides of a guide sleeve 40, a pair of cam grooves 40a are provided at rotational symmetric positions. While, on the outer peripheral portion of the motor 14, pins 42a, 42b are protrusively provided so as to be adapted to engage with the cam grooves 40a respectively. Further, one of the pins 42b can engage with a top end of a lever 44 which is slidable in accordance with the open and/or close operation of the door (not shown).
The top end of the lever 44 is composed of a fixing member 46 for interposingly sustaining the pin 42b, a pushing member 48 for pushing the pin 42b, and a spring 50 which is mounted within the lever 44 and can normally forcibly urge the pushing member 48 against the fixing member 46.
FIG. 6A illustrates the state in which the door is opened. In this state, the pin 42b positions at the lowest position of the cam groove 40a. Thus, the motor 14 descends under the guide sleeve 40 and the positioning axis 14a is located lower than the upper portion of the guide sleeve. From this state, if the lever 44 advances, the motor 14 slides rotatively on the cam groove 40a by virtue of the lever of the pin 42 so that as shown in FIG. 6B, the motor is transferred upwardly.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, a release pin and a positioning pin are omitted respectively, but these parts can be installed as in the first embodiment. Also, in this embodiment, taper connecting means can be used as means for limiting the elevation position of the motor as in the first embodiment.
In addition, this invention is not limited to these embodiments and various modifications can be carried out within the range of the claims.
This invention is constituted as set forth above such that on comparison with the conventional apparatus wherein the cartridge side is moved up and down in accordance with the open and/or close operation of the door, the mechanism of the driving portion can be simplified and the device can be made thinner and more compact.
